ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - June 29, 2009 34 Public Works Director Hoag stated that they were working to complete other projects first. He stated he would be looking at other 1&1 phases and projects later in the week including manhole inspections and sewer cleaning. Councilmember Holden stated that there were manholes from last year that had not been fixed. Public Works Director Hoag stated that all the manholes that had been inspected and rated either a one or two, which is the lower rating, were fixed in the manhole rehabilitation project last year. He stated that before work was started on the number three manholes Staff would like to finish inspecting the remaining 160 manholes to ensure there are no other manholes that would be considered a one or two and need immediate fixing. Councilmember Grant stated that seven sump pumps had been found to be improperly installed. He asked if Public Works Director Hoag had a form letter and instructions for the residents on how to fix the problem and if this process had been started. Public Works Director Hoag stated that he had provided these residents with a letter, a copy of the ordinance, the process for requesting reimbursement and diagrams on what a proper connection looks like. Residents are also encouraged to contact Staff if they have any questions. Councilmember Holden requested a copy of what Staff was providing to the residents. Public Works Director Hoag stated that he would get this information to the Council. Councilmember Grant asked if the Maintenance Contract for the maintenance facility had been located.
